[He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God\u2019s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time.

But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God\u2019s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God\u2019s love]. 19 We love, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, \u201cI love God,\u201d and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should also [UNSELFISHLY] LOVE his brother and seek the best for him&#8221;<\/i>\u00a0<b>1 John 4:17-21\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><i>&#8220;This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is LIGHT and in Him is NO DARKNESS AT ALL. 7 But if we WALK IN THE LIGHT as He is in the LIGHT, we have FELLOWSHIP with one another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ His Son CLEANSES us from ALL SIN. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we DECEIVE ourselves, and THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 9.
